06 - Identity Crisis - Jesus is God!

The single defining belief of the Christian Church has always been this: Jesus is God.

 This is the dividing line between true believers and cults.
This has always been what identifies the truth and heresy.
This has been what separated us from other world religions.

 We believe in Jesus' divine nature. We believe in His deity.
We believe that the Yahweh in the Old Covenant is one and the same as Jesus the Messiah in the New.

 If you're reading this series, the chances are you agree with me on this. But have you ever had to defend that belief? Would you know how to answer someone who asked you why you believe that Jesus is God?

 In this series, we will walk through the Bible and look at the evidence from its pages. There is no doubt about it, the Bible clearly identifies Jesus as the God we serve!

 Are You Storm-Ready? Matthew 7:24-27 - " Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. " But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall . " This may be a surprise to some Christians, but Jesus never said that things were going to be easy after you decide to follow Him. Even after salvation, life is not going to be all sunshine and sandy beaches. Remember this, both the wise man and the foolish man faced the same storm! What they went through wasn't where they were different! This means that you don't have to be discouraged when you face the same troubl...

Why Are You Asking?

A Pointless Invasion? In 567 BC, the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar invaded Egypt. There was no easily understandable reason for this attack on the area around the Nile. Babylon had already crushed the Pharaoh's military might almost forty years earlier, so they weren’t a threat to the empire. Babylonian forces didn’t occupy Egypt after their invasion, so it wasn’t a land grab or expansion of Nebuchadnezzar’s rule. For all intents and purposes, the invasion didn’t seem to accomplish much and the Babylonian soldiers left Egypt shortly thereafter. So why did Nebuchadnezzar, a great military leader, waste his time on this? The answer is found in Jeremiah 43:9-11. Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes (a large city near the northern border of Egypt) , saying, “Take large stones in your hand, and hide them in the sight of the men of Judah, in the clay in the brick courtyard which is at the entrance to Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes; and say to them, ‘Thus says the L...

God's Many-Sided Grace

" Grace " - If there's a word that's become divisive in Christianity today, this is it. Why would a beautiful concept like the grace of God be such a source of contention among believers? Why is there so much disagreement about what God's grace is  and what it does  for us? I believe the answer is found in 1 Peter 4:10 - " As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace  of God. " Pay attention to Peter's description of grace; he says it is " manifold " - or " many-sided ". God's grace doesn't do just  one thing, it has many different sides to it. But when you listen to a lot of ministers, you sometimes only hear one of these sides being taught. This is because many preachers have a deep understanding of one  of the roles of grace...but also an ignorance of any other sides. Sadly, this kind of partial knowledge among spiritual leadership causes them to focus only on...
